Screw nut (1) with an internal thread and two nut parts (2, 3), wherein each of the nut parts (2, 3) has a section (4, 5) of the internal thread which can be slid onto an external thread (30) in a radial direction, and wherein the nut parts (2, 3) have interoperable connecting elements which allow a
relative displacement of the nut parts (2, 3) in a direction radial to the axis of the internal thread to a position in use in which the internal thread of the screw nut (1) engages the external thread (30) with minimal play, wherein the connecting elements have guide surfaces (14 - 25) which guide the nut parts (2, 3) of the screw nut (1) in a rotational movement about an axis of rotation extending transversely to the axis of the internal thread when moving into the use position, wherein each nut part (2, 3) has at least one first locking arm (10, 13) which has a guide surface (14, 17) on one side which causes the rotational movement when the nut parts (2, 3) are moved and bears against a complementary guide surface (16, 15) on a second locking arm (12, 11) of the other nut part (3, 2), and wherein the screw nut (1) in the use position of the nut parts has a
shoulder surface (26) extending towards the axis of the internal thread in the region of a first end of the internal thread, characterized by the fact that the
shoulder surface (26) deviates from a plane extending radially to the axis of the internal thread and is such that the radially outer region of the
shoulder surface (26) with the greatest distance to the axis of the internal thread has the greatest
axial distance from the second end of the internal thread and the inner region of the shoulder surface (26) with the smallest distance to the axis of the internal thread has the smallest
axial distance from the second end of the internal thread.
